AW-10FW

Overview

The AW-10FW is a piezoelectric siren manufactured by PUI Audio, Inc., designed for audible alerting applications. It operates within a voltage range of 9 to 28 Vdc with a rated voltage of 24 Vdc. The device features a resonant frequency of 3.1 kHz and delivers a sound pressure level of 118 dBA. Typical current consumption is 15 mA, while supply current ranges from 8 to 35 mA. It utilizes a flanged mounting style and includes pin-selectable operation modes for continuous or pulse tones.

Feature Summary

• Pin-selectable operation modes allow configuration between continuous tone and pulse patterns.
• Variable duration capability enables customization of sound pattern timing.
• Flanged mounting design facilitates secure installation in enclosures.

Applications

• Industrial machinery status indicators
• Security system sirens
• Medical equipment alarms

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., NSVC) against official datasheets to confirm exact electrical characteristics and mounting dimensions. Ensure the operating voltage range aligns with the target circuit design. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by regulatory standards. Cross-reference part numbers with manufacturer documentation to avoid substitution errors.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high acoustic output is required in a compact form factor. The pin-selectable feature simplifies inventory management by allowing mode changes via hardware configuration rather than software control. Verify that the 52.5 mm diameter fits the available panel space. Consider the 118 dBA SPL for environments requiring long-distance audibility.

Part Context

This model belongs to the AW series of piezoelectric buzzers and sirens from PUI Audio. These devices are engineered for reliability in harsh environments. The series typically offers various mounting options and acoustic outputs to suit diverse industrial and commercial signaling needs.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes with identical pin configurations and acoustic performance. Verify that alternative parts support the same 9-28 Vdc operating range and flanged mounting requirements to ensure mechanical compatibility.

FAQ
